Japanese consulting company Remixpoint has made history, becoming the first publicly listed firm in the country to pay its CEO\u2019s entire salary in Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an official statement, Remixpoint\u2019s CEO, Yoshihiko Takahashi, revealed that choosing to receive his compensation in BTC was his own decision. He sees it as both a show of commitment to the company\u2019s Bitcoin-focused strategy and a way to align himself more closely with the firm\u2019s shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy decision to receive my entire compensation in Bitcoin is a clear signal that I am \u2018in the same boat\u2019 as our shareholders,\u201d Yoshihiko explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move stems partly from shareholders urging Remixpoint\u2019s leadership to hold company stock, so executives\u2019 fortunes would mirror those of investors. However, regulatory restrictions, including concerns over insider trading, prevent Remixpoint from holding its own shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, the company proposed an alternative solution: paying its President entirely in Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy receiving compensation in Bitcoin, the company\u2019s leadership will share the same economic fate as shareholders, fostering a system that aligns economic value with investors,\u201d Remixpoint stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The announcement coincides with a period of relative stability in the Bitcoin market. As of July 8, 2025, Bitcoin is trading at $108,461, down about 0.45% over the past 24 hours, though it\u2019s up roughly 1.59% in the past week and 3.3% over the last two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In recent months, more companies worldwide have shown interest in adopting Bitcoin, issuing shares and raising capital to build corporate BTC treasuries. But Remixpoint has gone a step further, becoming one of the first public companies to pay salaries directly in Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike some newcomers jumping on the Bitcoin trend, Remixpoint is no stranger to crypto. The company has been holding Bitcoin on its balance sheet since September 2024. According to data from Bitcoin Treasuries, Remixpoint currently holds 1,051 BTC, valued at around $114.03 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move signals yet another example of how cryptocurrency is weaving itself deeper into corporate finance and how some executives are betting their personal income on its future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
